Wow, I like this shot! Sunrises/sunsets are my favorite subject so this one really caught my eye. The tree was really well placed in the shot giving it a lot of depth. Great colors too. Nice shot.

Comment from Trajan


That is just a stunner. I feel like I can hear the ancient celts drumming and chanting in the distance as the sun rises over the bay. Avalon seems quite near in this.
Extremely mystical and well captured with the near silhouettes and and multicolored sky.
Well done.

The most fleeting beauty in the world are colorful dawns and sunset. You were there at exactly the right time to capture these glorious colors, and to offset them against a nice strong tree and evergreens in the distance. Outstanding!

Nice colors of the sunset across the bay. The silhouette of the tree creates interest, but of course the real story is the sky. Seeing the bay and spit of land in the background adds interest. Well seen.

This is a great capture to look at and enjoy. The landscape has a mesmerizing serenity. The beautiful sunset colors are emphasized and contradicted be the impressive silhouette in the foreground. The photo is perfect balanced and framed.

Wow, Susan!! This is so stunning and peaceful to look at. The whole photo is so well done from the lighting, exposure, colors, composition and detail. There is a mysterious feel to the photo with the fog over the water. The sky is ablaze with fiery colors. Love the framing of the tree and how it's branches point down toward the water. Nice work. It is every bit deserving of a 6 or better.

It's a beautiful piece of art and it goes so well with my first cup of coffee . I'm partial to sunsets but this piece is amazing .
It's such a well composed piece with all the components . I love the trees in silhouette but it's the depth that pulls me in , especially the morning fog .
Outstanding colors in your well balanced and framed photo .
Susan , I'm not a photographer , not even close ... It's such a well planned Photograph ! What was the process ?
I'm an outstanding piece and thank you .

Since I started on FAR, I have become a true fan of sky photos.
Never really noticed things before.
I love this one as well, the one spot looks like a golden lightening strike. An it mixes so much with all of those beautiful colors.
Everything else looks like a silhouette and it is gorgeous.
It is a very well focused photo and great dof, with camera techniques.
Pleasure to view, thanks for sharing.

This is your favorite place, isn't it Susan. It is not difficult to understand why, and especially when the sky looks like this. The sunset has given it the most beautiful colors. I especially like how the silhouetted tree work as a nice and natural framing.

This tree is also standing out sharp and well defined against the sky, and it is possible to even see the smallest twigs. I also think the exposure is spot on.

The format and the framing is perfect, and with the tree off to the left, it is a very good balance in the composition. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

    Annie,
    Thanks a million for your complementary review of this Sunrise over Dublin Bay last Saturday morning. The First time I've tried to get a sunrise that was not spoilt by the weather. Killakee is one of my favorite spots to take pictures, it gives wonderful views over the city & on a clear day it's possible to see the mountain's of Morne to the north of the city.

Wow! Breaking dawn over Dublin bay......gorgeous morning light with all those colors in the sky. A good composition ....I like the stark tree framing your scene adding contrast and differentiation to your image. Very well photographed with good details and depth of field. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!
